Return to Vietnam

We were in Bangkok in 1991 when visas were newly available for independent travel to Vietnam. We were on a plane within a week. These memorable images capture the experience of that remarkable country as we journeyed overland from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi.

Children, Soc Trang.

Outside of the two main cities, people hadn’t seen foreigners or white people for many years or, in the case of children, ever. We were of great curiosity wherever we went, never more so than with the local children, whose energy and playfulness is evident as they surround us while exploring the village of Soc Trang by bike.
